FTC compliance, sponsorship deals, sweepstakes, trademarks. The legal side of running a creator business — from a firm that actually understands the platforms you work on.
Influencer & Creator
Practice Area 04
Brand contracts protect the brand. Someone has to protect the creator — that's the work. Read every clause, flag every risk, push back on anything that sells you short.
The Fair Firm Approach
On the platforms, in the work.
1
Platform Fluent
We're on TikTok and Instagram ourselves. We understand the platforms, the dynamics, and what creators actually deal with — not just the legal theory.2
Creator Side
We work for creators, not brands. The reviews and revisions we propose are designed to protect your interests, your IP, and your future — not theirs.

Fast Turnaround
Brand deals often come with short timelines. We work to those timelines. Most contract reviews come back within a few business days, marked up and ready to send.
Our Services
— 01
Reviewing brand deal contracts before you sign. Identifying terms that limit your future work, take IP rights they shouldn't have, or pay you on the back end of forever.
Sponsorship Agreements
— 02
Disclosure rules for sponsored content, affiliate links, and gifted product. We help creators set up compliant disclosure practices and respond if a brand pushes back on doing it right.
FTC Compliance
— 03
Drafting compliant rules for giveaways, sweepstakes, and contests. Sweepstakes rules vary by state — and if you do them wrong, the platforms (and the states) notice.
Sweepstakes & Giveaways
— 04
Trademark searches and applications for your name, brand, or product line. Protect what you've built before someone else tries to use it.
Trademark Protection
— 05
LLCs and S-corps for creator businesses, with operating agreements that account for how creator income actually works — irregular, multi-platform, often international.
Creator Business Formation
— 06
When someone uses your content without permission, copies your concept, or impersonates you online. We send the letter and follow it up if needed.

Common Questions
Things Creators often ask
-
Yes. The FTC requires clear and conspicuous disclosure of any material connection between you and a brand — sponsored posts, gifted product, affiliate links. The rules apply on every platform, and the FTC has actively enforced against influencers who don't comply.
-
Yes, but the rules matter. You need clear official rules, you can't require purchase to enter, certain states have specific requirements, and the platforms have their own policies on top. We draft compliant giveaway rules so you can run them without worry.
-
On business and contract matters that don't require state-specific advice, yes — much of creator law is federal (FTC, USPTO, copyright) and the same wherever you live. For state-specific issues, we may refer to local counsel.
